There is a lot of love in this picture. I like it and agree with you. I do see the challenge of drawing something like this and to show the emotions as well. Good job.

This is a wonderful rendering of a couple enjoying the joy of an embrace. Time stops and nothing else matters. Your sketch tells your story and your preferences. Very nicely done and yes dark areas attract attention. Ray

The idea of this emotion is well received. I loved to surprise my wife this way as I liked to be spontaneous. Her normal response a soft purr and I will leave the rest to the reader's imagination. The artwork has depth, and we can feel the emotion. We should take advantage of these opportunities every time we can. My wife had a major stroke 15 years ago and is now in a wheelchair. We have found that love comes in different forms, and we are now embracing our new normal. We just celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary.

The expressions in this drawing indeed express the meaning of your commentary. The background is done well and the frame adds, but the drawing needs a lot of work that you could do digitally. Can't tell if that is her leg going to the right. The top parts are rather nice but most likely the closer one would be larger. The short dress is rather nice as are his jeans. But the figures need smoothing, if trying for realism because you have some fairly good features.

    Thank you for your kind review and suggestions. Yes digitally I could have improved it but it is a traditional art contest no digital. I will try to improve it after the contest using digital. Of course, I can repost a digital modified one as a new post. Thanks again.

    Welcome much. If this work is drawn, painted, you can also improve it to be so well drawn. Good work nevertheless.

A very nice drawing for a difficult subject! I like how. You have framed in this presentation and the lovely low key colors.The anatomy of each person appears correct and lovely and we can feel the emotion. Well done and best wishes!
